This gun deck floor was laid in 1822

Portsmouth Dockyard

It is hard to imagine hundreds of men living on this floor.
They lived beside their cannon.
They worked here, ate their meals here, and slept here.
The only time they left their cannon was to go to the heads.

Phil, I purchased a season ticket for all the attractions in Portsmouth Dockyard. I will be going back again. Just hope I will survive keep hitting my head on the low beams. The Victory is just magnificent, it will take many visits to see and understand it all.

this is a real eye opener the first time you visit, and subsequent visit simply draw you deeper into experience John.
